Cheng Xiaofeng returned to his office and stood in front of the window. He was holding Xu Zhimo's 1920s Tiger Poetry Collection. He compared it to a few telegrams and looked at the movements in the courtyard from time to time.
Through the secret key " Tiger Poetry Collection ", the true colors of the telegrams were gradually revealed, and the spy team behind the telegrams became clearer and clearer. This was an undercover team in Shanghai. The team leader's code name was 'Falcon', and the superior was' Eagle Nest.' This made Cheng Xiaofeng speechless. One look and he could tell that this was a commonly used code name for Commanders. They just didn't know how to change it. Thinking about his own team, he didn't have much of a temper. His group's code name was even worse. What oriole, peacock, magpie, sparrow? He was actually a stork, a nest of birds.
This group had clearly just gained a firm foothold. The main way to obtain information came from intelligence dealers. The Shanghai concession was a collection of intelligence resources from all sides. There were two intelligence teams under the Special Higher Police intelligence group that were involved in the concession intelligence market. They didn't just buy information, they also didn't let go of the source of the information.
One of the cables shocked Cheng Xiaofeng. It recorded the number of ships entering and leaving the Huangpu River, as well as the names of the ships.
The other message recorded the railway transportation status of Shanghai North and South stations, including the number of trains, the number of carriages, and the goods carried by the military. Armored vehicles, cannons, etc.
In fact, a very important source of intelligence came from gathering information. The main job of the Military Investigation Committee should be to collect data and analyze valuable information. And those data often came from public information.
Wang Xing, ah, Wang Xing, it seemed like they had really revealed a valuable radio station and exposed a real intelligence team.
This was a hot potato. Even if they wanted to protect this radio station, they were afraid that Wang Xing would become suspicious.
He was unwilling to hand over the radio station to the Special Higher Police. If the military had similar statistics on all the major traffic arteries in the country, then the movements of the Japanese army could be analyzed, just like their counterparts in Manchuria.
If the radio station was exposed, those advantageous observation points would be monitored, and the agents involved in the observation would be in danger. If they wanted to monitor it again, they would face difficulties.
The information was not hidden in the archives. The boss of the vegetable market next to the military camp could calculate the number of soldiers in the military camp.
However, although this was a real intelligence station, it was still much lighter than the situation at the front line of Xuzhou.
He had been holding the mysterious radio station that led to Xuzhou for too long. Perhaps one day, the communications team would retrieve these messages, and these messages would be handled by the deciphering team. To be on the safe side, he really had to hand over this radio station with intelligence value.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a limousine escorted by two motorcycles drove into the Special Higher Police compound.
Cheng Xiaofeng moved his body backward to avoid eye contact with the person who got out of the car.
The car came over and saw the license plate clearly. It was from another secret service agency in Shanghai, the Lan Agency, which was responsible for inciting the senior generals of the national army to defect. The director of the agency, Hezhi Yingji, had a good relationship with Matsuda Yuta. The two of them were both directors of the agency and were both lieutenant generals. They often interacted with each other, both for official and private purposes.
Could this be the organization behind Chen Licheng?
------
Chen Xiaofeng placed the translated message and the confidential file of " Fierce Tigers " on Kumamoto Shunji's table.
"What's wrong? Did he succeed? That's great!"
"Ha Yi!"
Kumamoto Shunji flipped through the message and praised,""Xiao Feng, how did you do it?”
When Deputy Team Leader Wang was talking about the Military Intelligence Bureau, he happened to think of it. The intelligence chief of the East China region liked modern poetry, so I bought more than a dozen poetry collections on the market and tried them one by one. I really got it right.
"Xiao Feng, not bad. I have a surprise for you too.”
"Teacher, my surprise!"
"Look, this secret message."
Cheng Xiaofeng took the message and translated it: [Jinshan Temple: Three assassinations of Wang, Gao and Xian have been completed. The results are to be verified. The enemy is furious and will evacuate tomorrow as planned. Green Snake]
"Wang is Wang Xing, Gao is the Special Higher Police, and Xian is the Military Police. Jinshan Temple, teacher, they are singing the Legend of the White Snake.”
"Yes, this one was sent last night.”
"Teacher, why did it break today?”
"That Wang Xing smelled danger and played another card. According to the telegrams from a few days ago, this group had been lurking for a long time. However, the fingering of this telegram was different from the previous ones. It might have been sent by the killers sent by the military commander.”
"Teacher, follow the previous telegrams and see if you can find any clues to find this radio station.”
"I've seen it. Ten days ago, there was a secret signal to meet, but it's already expired. The location is the racecourt.”
"Were these two killers the ones who contacted them?”
"I'm not sure yet, but I can assume so.”
------
"Report!"
"Come in!"
The person who came in was the adjutant of the mechanism, First Lieutenant Ueshima.
"Reporting to Team Leader Kumamoto, the director is waiting in the reception room!”
"Oh, just in time. Xiaofeng, let's go together. You take this secret file, and I'll take this one.”
"Teacher, you can have them all."
"It's different now. Although you're from China, you've already become a Japanese citizen. It's time to put people from China in an important position.”
"No, Teacher, it's better for me to stay in the dark.”
He knew the family rules of the military commander. As a spy, he knew that those contributions might be irrefutable evidence in the future. He had a very high perspective and could judge which was more important from the entire battle situation. However, this was not something that everyone could understand.
He just wanted to protect the mysterious radio station and gain more power. At this time, China was in the most dangerous situation, so he had to be in an advantageous position at this time.
"Alright, I'll explain the situation to the director.”
"Teacher, I've investigated a road. It's a shortcut to the gendarmerie. Due to construction, vehicles can't pass through, so we can only take a detour. However, empty rickshaws and bicycles could pass through. Moreover, rickshaws running on the road would not arouse suspicion. He doesn't have to wait at our door, he can wait at the end of the road and set off as soon as he sees us out of the gate. Similarly, he didn't need to rush to the scene. He only needed to be seen by people on both sides, or only by the people at the wonton stall, because the chaotic sounds of the wonton stall could be heard by the killers in the quiet alley. I calculated the time and found that we could finish this segment in six to seven minutes. It would take us eight minutes to get there by car. After all, there was a bumpy section of the road.”
Kumamoto Shunji listened carefully, nodded, and then said self-deprecatingly,""I hope so. There should be an end to this matter. In any case, the assassination of the military commander has come to an end. Why don't you give me a closed case report? The higher-ups will need to answer to you.”
"Teacher, of course we can't rule out the possibility that someone in the courtyard leaked the news of Wang Xing going to the military police.”
"Yes, the people in the quad have been complicated recently. Those people from Shanghai Station shouldn't stay in the quad anymore. It's better to arrange for them to report to the Detective Squad a day earlier. What's the situation here? How can a secret be kept? I'll report to the Chief of the Bureau now.”

Back in his office, Cheng Xiaofeng felt unusually tired. In the past three days, his nerves had been tense. He had used all his strength to lead the team to block left and kill right. The team was in trouble again and again, and again and again, they pulled the team back from the brink of collapse.
Finally, there was no danger. The group was still alive and his position was once again consolidated. After all, no one would suspect him after two close encounters.
The next task was to stabilize his team and enter a dormant state. Feng Yuan and Zhou Hui needed to make some adjustments to their appearances. For example, Feng Yuan needed to change his hairstyle to a crew cut, get a pair of glasses, and grow his beard. As for Zhou Hui, she tried her best to avoid wearing cheongsams and cut her curly hair short.
The tea shop had already fallen into Mr. Kumamoto's sight. It could no longer be used as a contact point. He had to create a new contact point. Old Xiang could not be withdrawn. Once he withdrew, the other party would notice. He had to think of a way to reasonably close the shop in two to three months.
Liu Yuexin had completed three missions and should be able to enter the stable period of a novice spy. She needed to further stabilize her mentality, accumulate experience, and learn to improve. With such a spy in the telephone department, they could quickly pass on information and reduce the risk of going out.
Suddenly, he remembered that the mysterious person who carried out the special mission was also a dangerous person. How could someone who could be met by Matsuta Yuta alone be a simple person? Why was he with Liu Yuexin that night at Mishima Pavilion? Who was that old man?
Liu Yuexin went to check Mitsui's phone number, and she also checked Mitsui's phone number. Now that Mitsui's secret training was very sensitive, would these two investigations make that person suspicious? After all, Liu Yuexin had just entered the Dao. At this time, it was very easy for her to reveal some tricks of a spy. Would it attract his attention?
Therefore, this matter had to be resolved. Otherwise, Liu Yuexin might try to find out the other party's secrets when she just debuted. That would expose her, and she was really no match for her now.
Thinking about it carefully, there were still many problems. Fortunately, these could be done slowly. As long as there was action, these were things that he and his team members had to face, and the risks had to be borne.
At present, the strategic focus of both China and Japan had deviated from Shanghai, and the channels to obtain information were becoming increasingly narrow. If he could master the radio station, he would have the opportunity to receive telegrams from the Japanese army, which would be helpful to the current war situation. Taking advantage of the opportunity of cracking the military radio station, he would strive to expand his strength in this aspect. That Jiamei was a good candidate. She was passionate and energetic. If he recruited a few more candidates, he could establish a cracking team under his control.
Thinking about the head of the communications team, Kurosawa, he was a little petty and had some complaints about the interference of the intelligence team in the communications team. However, it was really difficult to find a Japanese who was proficient in Chinese and had the talent to decipher. A few experts were dispatched to the military headquarters and the General Staff Headquarters. The war was the priority. Therefore, the main task of the deciphering team was to make full use of the secret codes that had been seized to capture those that had escaped the net. In order to make up for his credit, Kurosawa even went to the intelligence market to buy secret codes.
Matsuta Yuta knew what his subordinates were doing. As an expert under his command, he also knew the importance of balancing the power and influence of various departments. Therefore, he comforted Kurosawa and rewarded the intelligence team, Kumamoto Shunji. He also took good care of the real cracking talent, Cheng Xiaofeng.
However, in secret, Kurosawa already saw himself as a potential threat. Cheng Xiaofeng's identity was often insinuated by him.
It would take some effort to establish a good relationship with Kurosawa and obtain useful information from him.
It was better to write the closing report as soon as possible so that this assassination incident could come to an end as soon as possible.
——————
It was time to get off work after he finished writing the Final Report on the Attacks on the Special Higher Police and the Military Police. Cheng Xiaofeng sent the final report to Kumamoto Shunji's office. Kumamoto Shunji was frowning, his right hand tapping on the table. It was obvious that he had a lot on his mind.
When he saw Cheng Xiaofeng enter, he pushed the drawer in front of him and pointed at the sofa." Make a cup of tea. The tea leaves are all packed together. Every department has a lot of them. This spring tea tastes really good.”
"Teacher, what's wrong?”
"At that time in the afternoon, General Hezhi came over and revealed a piece of news. General Tufei Yuan will lead the 14th division from the Xinxiang Yellow River to attack Guide to cut off the retreat of the Xuzhou army and support the Xuzhou Battle. We need to gather information about all the Chinese army and report it to General Tufei Yuan at any time.”
"Teacher, General Dohien's request is correct. He is a senior in Japanese intelligence work, so he naturally has the identity and needs to obtain more information.”
"That's right. The focus of the Shanghai Special Higher Police is to maintain the stability of this metropolis and establish our determination to work for the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere in front of the world. They are no longer sensitive to the current situation on the battlefield, and they will not inform us about the situation of the Central China and North China dispatched troops.”
"General Tufei Yuan, you should understand that we are not strong enough.”
"Actually, one of our Chief and Chief Lan is about to be promoted to major general, and the decision has been given to General Tufei Yuan. After all, his words in the intelligence department are unparalleled. We have almost no information on the 14th division of General Doshien, but it is different for Colonel Kato. The special mission of the Lan Agency allowed them to receive information from the headquarters and grasp the situation of the battlefield at any time. To provide detailed battle intelligence for General Tufei Yuan to join the battle, especially the specific information of the high-ranking generals of the Kuomingtang.”
"That's why Director Matsuta is very depressed. Our team leaders have also suffered from the disaster. Just now, we had a hard time catching up on the current situation on both sides of the Xuzhou battlefield. Our intelligence team is the first to bear the brunt. It seems that I really have to send them to the Nanjing Dispatching Army Command to obtain the latest information. After I leave, the communications team and the intelligence team will be merged into one. The communications intelligence team will be formed, with team leader Heize as the acting team leader.”
"No wonder Teacher is so depressed. The strategic focus of the Central China Command in Nanjing has already been focused on the area of Wu Han. The information about the First Battle Area of China is not comprehensive enough.”
"Well, we have already sent out several spy teams in the early stages, which played a role in the capture of Nanjing. At present, two teams have already infiltrated into Wu Han, and there are two more teams in Nanjing. I am preparing to send these two teams to the First Battle Area of China. The main purpose of this trip is to activate these two teams and clarify the purpose of this operation. This is related to the future of our director. When we came to Shanghai, the director took good care of us and entrusted us with an important task. This time, it's to thank the director. Xiaofeng, after I leave, you will be in charge of the communications team. Focus on deciphering the secret messages. Don't show your face in public. Focus on the movements of the battlefield radio station. Also, cooperate with my work outside.”
Of course, Cheng Xiaofeng knew about the existence of these four teams. Sending spies to collect information was the main job of the intelligence team. Because the communications team usually obtained information from these teams at the first time, Kumamoto Shunji would rather hand the intelligence team over to Kurosawa than let the communications team be in the hands of his own people.
"Teacher, are you going to personally lead these two groups to Yudong?”
"Kurosawa is in charge of the intelligence team and has overall jurisdiction over two teams. This is the intention of the director. He hopes that you can obtain information from the enemy's radio station that will be beneficial to General Tufei Yuan. I also hope that you can get first-hand information about our teams.”
"The communications team is related to the core secrets of the base camp and the various dispatched troops. I'm afraid…"
"What a joke. Does the Intelligence Group have a few core secrets? You have passed the test, cracked ten sets of passwords, three of which are particularly valuable, cracked the military command at Shanghai Station, and your life was on the line twice recently. Even the Japanese might not be as loyal as you. Besides, you have the talent to crack codes. If you can crack a few military radio stations, it will be the greatest support for the Chief.”
Cheng Xiaofeng let out a long sigh of relief, unable to suppress the joy on his face.
After hiding for four years, he had finally approached the core area of intelligence and realized Feng Ze's wish. His stork was finally raised and could participate in the frontal battlefield. And this opportunity was actually given by Japan's top spy, known as Lawrence of the East, Kenji Dohien.
"Alright, stop being so happy. You're in high spirits at the mention of cracking the password. The details will be announced at the meeting tomorrow.”
Cheng Xiaofeng felt extremely relaxed and opened the door first. However, he did not realize that the teacher behind him had a complicated and conflicted look in his eyes.
